Hello,

i have a huge problem and need much advice. I have bad tmj and am aware of ways to treat it. My problem is I am a very big tooth grinder in my sleep. I go through new mouth pieces within 4 or 5 months. My teeth are now almost all rounded off and I do have nerve exposure. The dentist I am using has been president of the ada or some *.Da, I can't recall. He is very well respected and I respect him fully. After working with him the only solution we have come up with is that I need a new mouth Laughing I need 28 crowns which equals about $25,000. Ouch. This was about a year and a half ago but I have been unable to pay for it. My dentist, however, has never done a complete tooth restoration on all teeth.

I need to research dentists around houston, tx to see whom has done this kind of work. I will see all dentists if necessary to make sure I will get a perfect job for $25,000. Please help me, this is just awful.

I was diagnosed with tmj about 10 years ago and was days away from receiving the christensen implant. Dont. I had arthroscopic surgery and been paid free for the last 10 years. Get as many opinions as you can. There is always something new and better out there. I am in texas and my doctor was great but I had to go to several before I got to him. Please know that there is a light at the end of the tunnel and do not give up. There are solutions out there. Feel free to email me with questions.
